'M' Matmen Face Swim Trio Lost
Rough Weekend By Ineligibility
By AL JONES
It's showdown time for
the
Michigan wrestling team.
The Wolverine grapplers will
attempt to continue their newly-
formed winning streak this after-
noon at Minnesota, but will enter
action without one of their stars.
Steve Zervas, Michigan heavy-
weight who has dropped only one
match in dual-meet competition
this season, was declared ineli-
gible yesterday due to academic
difficulties. He will not be able
to compete the rest of this season.
Gains Replacement
Coach Cliff Keen, however, has
a substitute for Zervas. Sophomore
Fred Olm, who was previously in-
eligible, will be with the team this
semester, and will initiate his 'M'
wrestling career today against
Minnesota.
The team left yesterday morn-
ing for Minneapolis,andafter the
Gopher meet this afternoon, will
journey to Ames, Ia., where they
will meet Iowa State tomorrow
afternoon.
This weekend's competition will
be much stronger than Purdue
and Northwestern, the teams that
the Wolverines trampled last Fri-
day and Saturday to begin their
present win streak. Previous to
that time Keen's squad had been
winless in dual-meets.
Gophers Tough
Minnesota, defending Confer-
ence champion, rates again as one
of the toughest Big Ten teams.
They had a 20-meet dual-meet
winning streak extending over
three seasons, which was broken
only last week by Iowa, 16-9.
The last time that the Gophers
and Wolverines met was in last
spring's Conference meet, when
Minnesota edged past Michigan,
55-54, to gain the title. Since that
time both squads have lost many
stars by graduation, and have
undergone a period of rebuilding.
Keen states that "Minnesota has
many returnees and will be one
of the toughest teams we face
this year."
Big Question
The meet should be a thrilling
one, and a very important one in
determining which teams will be
title contenders when the Big Ten
meet rolls around. If the Wolver-
ines can continue their winning
ways past Minnesota, they will
place themselves in a position of
-definite title-contention.
